grass and dirt eating

10wks old now and constantly eats grass and dirt. He doesn't "graze" but, as he is outside running around he'll grab some grass/weeds/dirt and run with it. If I don't watch him he will then just lay there and eat it/chew on it. I have seen grass in his stool so he does eat it at times. Is this something I should be concerned with? Should I try to stop him from eating it?

This is normal stuff. Do be aware that dogs eat grass and yes, sometimes a bit of dirt, and do not use products on your lawn or garden that can be toxic.
